Recap:
"Sleep. When you wake up, I'll have everything packed." Levi states and smile softly as I close my eyes... and slowly drift off to sleep.
My body moves on its own before my mind could completely grasp my situation. When my mind is fully awake, I can finally hear myself retching. 'This morning sickness is killing me.'
As I finish cleaning myself up, I hear the front door open and light footsteps come into the bedroom. I poke my head out of the lit doorway and come face to face with Levi, almost bumping into him. We stare at each other for a moment before I give Levi a small smile. Levi gives one back before he leads me into the living area. There are two suitcases in front of the front door. They're the same size and color but they have tags strapped to the handle of the suitcases. I look at Levi after looking at the suitcases. 'I don't have my phone and I didn't look at the alarm clock.'
"What time is it?" Levi glances at his watch before looking me in the eye.
"5:50 AM. The flight is at 7:35 and the airport is 50 minutes away." I immediately rush back into the room and start changing.
"I'm going to put the luggage into the car. Is there anything you want me to take?" Levi calls and I stop for a moment and think.
"Did you pack my laptop?" I call out and receive a 'Yes'.
"Then no." I call out and I hear him open the front door and leave. After I'm dressed and my shoes are on, I grab my phone and then grab a blanket just in case. I walk into the living area to the front door in time to meet Levi in the hallway.
"Eren, do you want anything to eat while we wait for the plane?" Levi asks, standing up from his seat next to me. We'd been sitting, wrapped in a blanket, planning to wait the 30 minutes to board. After we got here at 6:40 on the dot, it took 25 minutes to get to our terminal. I got some strange looks at the security check and Levi almost snapped when 40 year old bald man commented on my enlarged stomach.
"A Cinnamon Cookie Kit-Kat, please." I say looking over at one of the many food counters while wrapping myself in the blanket. Levi nods and walks away. I sigh contently as I close my eyes. It's not long before I feel eyes boring a hole into the side of my head. I turn in the direction of the staring in time to see the heads of two women, standing 5 yards away, turn their. They were both wearing sunglasses and caps with their tucked into them so no one could recognize them. One woman was taller than the other and seemed kind of nervous. I stare at her looking her over for a moment and I catch a glimpse of something disturbing. Tucked into the front jean pocket of the taller woman's pants... is the dark red scarf I'd given to Mikasa when we were younger. It was even worn like the one I gave her.
"Eren? What's wrong? Do you feel sick?" Levi's sudden appearance quickly makes look away from the scary sight yards away. In his hand is the candy I'd ask for and some tea in cup for himself.
"Um, I'm not sick. But I think we're being followed." I say, subtly nodding towards the two suspicious women. Levi glances at them quickly, making sure not to draw any attention as he hands me the candy.
"They look like they're not getting on the plane so I think we'll be safe. Now that we're aware of them, we'll be careful now." Levi says before calmly drinking his tea. It's times like these I'm grateful for this man.
12:00 AM
I flop down on the bed of our new temporary (I think) home. Who knew that Levi had already bought a vacation home in Orlando, Florida. Not me. I kick off my shoes lazily before crawling under the sheets of the bed. Under normal circumstances, Levi would've made an attempt to make change clothes at the least, but he just joins me after taking off his suit jacket, tie, and shoes neatly. The fortunate thing is, the new laboratory ,managed by Marco Bodt, I'm working is close by and I can go there to introduce myself anytime before 10 PM.
"Goodnight, Eren."
"Goodnight, Levi."
